2012 Emmy Awards Red Carpet

Ariel Winter in Katharine Kidd

That is way too much dress and shoe for such a tiny little girl.

Jane Levy in Pamella Roland

 

Fabulous color.

Melissa Rauch in Oliver Tolentino

Another fabulous color. This was probably the most colorful red carpet we've seen in some time.

Christina Hendricks in custom Christian Siriano

 

This dress puts the goods on display without being too in-your-face and without looking like she's wearing a sausage casing. We like the belt; it does a very good job of defining her waist. I don't love the color, but it does suit her.

Heidi Klum in Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2012 Couture

It's a beautiful dress, but literally every single accessory matched it exactly. Come on now, Barbie.

Bustier Babes

Scoopnecks and straps can be a bit tame for the red carpet. But a skintight structured bustier, like the ones Jessica Alba and Katy Perry are wearing? Pitch-perfect sex appeal.

Dressy Jumpsuits

These one-piece wonders are a fresh alternative to the typical red carpet gown. Just ask Kate Beckinsale and Cameron Diaz, who both paired dressy jumpsuits with bold jewelry, towering heels and fierce attitude.

Teal Appeal

Whether it's Kate Middleton in Jenny Packham or Emmanuelle Chirqui in Maria Lucia Hohan, there's something about a brunette in teal...Done up in sturdy cotton or wool, teal can be overbearing. But chiffon or silk? Totally gorge.
